Everything he saw was pitch black, and he thought he was dead.
Xu Yunfei wanted to sit up, but when he moved, he touched his own wound, which made him grimace in pain.
Zhang Xiaoying, who was outside the room, heard the commotion and came in holding a candlestick.
Xu Yunfei looked over and met Zhang Xiaoying's gaze.
Probably because the candlelight softened Zhang Xiaoying's face, Xu Yunfei seemed to have returned to the past when he was favored by his mother.
"Mom!" He murmured, with a sense of unspeakable grievance, "Have you come to pick me up?"
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."
"Mom, why does it hurt so much even though you're dead?"
"..."
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaoying remained silent, and Xu Yunfei lowered his head silently.
"Are you angry?"
Zhang Xiaoying rolled her eyes and took a deep breath to prevent herself from being like a dead child who just woke up.
She walked to the bed and looked down at Xu Yunfei.
Xu Yunfei was enveloped by her figure. After a while, he came back to his senses and slowly raised his head.
The familiar feeling of oppression came over, and Xu Yunfei felt a little suffocated.
"Mom, I, I..."
"Tell me, why do you want to save Ayang and then make Ayang agree to do that?"
Xu Yunfei murmured, "I, I just, when my brain gets hot, just..."
"Tell the truth, I don't like people lying." Zhang Xiaoying looked at him steadily.
Xu Yunfei lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Xiaoying didn't rush him either.
After a long time, Xu Yunfei raised his head. He mustered up a lot of courage and asked the question he had been hiding in his heart for a long time, "You, are you really not my mother?"
"Because I treat you badly, you doubt me?" Zhang Xiaoying asked.
Perhaps because he opened this topic, Xu Yunfei was heartbroken, "No, neither my eldest brother nor my second brother are like before. Even Zhao Chunbao and Mr. Xu will never give up again like you did to the three of us brothers."
He won't be as strange as you.
"Has my mother really been killed by us?"
Xu Yunfei's voice trembled slightly at this last sentence.
Ever since I woke up that time, I have never been the same.
Zhang Xiaoying didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.
"That's it, right?"
"If you think the answer is this, then so be it!"
Xu Yunfei was trembling a little.
"Not everyone will live for someone all their life. I spent the first half of my life around you, and in the end I was waiting for death. Xu Yunfei, if it were you, would you let it go? If nothing else, I would kick you out of the house.
You can remember things for a lifetime, right?"
"which I do not have!"
"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. You just need to know that the path you choose is yours. Now that you have decided, no matter how difficult it is, there is no possibility of turning back!"
"But you're really not right?"
Xu Yunfei was obsessed with this issue.
He almost died once, which made him more courageous now.
In the past, he would never have dared to ask.
"Big brother and second brother believe you, I don't." Xu Yunfei seemed to be telling Zhang Xiaoying, but also seemed to be convincing himself.
Zhang Xiaoying stared at him for a moment.
Xu Yunfei did not avoid her gaze this time and was determined to get the answer.
"If you say yes, will you feel better?" After a long time, Zhang Xiaoying spoke.
Xu Yunfei was dejected.
Can he say that Zhang Xiaoying has ulterior motives?
Both the Xu family and Dafu Village have changed for the better because of her.
And it was also because of this that his broken legs were able to return to normal.
Do you hate Zhang Xiaoying?
Xu Yunfei should hate himself more.
If he hadn't discussed it with his second brother, how could his mother really have died?
"It was my fault."
Xu Yunfei cried.
With the answers, many things that he had once been unable to understand were now clear to him.
She is not his biological mother, so what reason does she have to continue to pamper and pamper him?
"I kicked you out of the house because she was wholeheartedly planning for you, but you wanted to put her to death for a rotten person? You have never been sorry to me, you are only sorry to her!" Zhang Xiaoying didn't bother to hide it anymore.
"I saved you several times because of kindness. Xu Yunfei, if it weren't for her, you would have died long ago. Ask yourself, did you cause those disasters yourself?"
Xu Yunfei had long guessed, but when the truth turned out to be true, he found it difficult to accept it.
"Whether you hate me or want to kill me, I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and worthy of your Xu family." Zhang Xiaoying said lightly, "Without me, you will die, and Sister Jinyu will follow the footsteps of your third sister and be sold.
You even helped count the money!
"And your family cannot be counted as the Jiang family, and even you will always be used by Li Lanlan. Xu Yunfei, has I ever done anything to disgrace your Xu family? Even becoming your mother is not what I want.
!”
"I have never hated you." Xu Yunfei shook his head, "I have no qualifications. I have actually guessed it a long time ago. I saved Yu Yang because I knew that Yu Yang could do more than me while he was alive. If you are so powerful, you will always suffer.
People hold grudges, and that's all I can do."
"Although it's only been a few months, I've learned a lot about you and seen how kind you are to the Xu family. You don't owe the Xu family anything. She left because of our selfishness."
Zhang Xiaoying was a little surprised that Xu Yunfei would think so.
"I know that I used to be really annoying. During these days, I was living the same life as my older brother in the city. I was yelled at and yelled at. I worked hard all day, and sometimes I didn't even get paid.
I know that my eldest brother didn’t say he had no money just because he hid his private house.”
"No one will pamper me anymore and ask me what I want to eat. In fact, if I wasn't so selfish, I could be like my eldest brother and my second brother and learn my skills from you, right?"
Zhang Xiaoying said: "There is no regret medicine in the world."
"I'm sorry." He lowered his head, "I should have understood these truths long ago, but I don't know them until now. Can I still call you mother in the future?"
"You already know this, why are you still calling me?" Zhang Xiaoying said, "I'm not the one."
"But I don't have a mother anymore."
"..."
The dead kid is showing weakness!
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this. Don't worry, I won't say these words to anyone tonight, and I won't go back to the Xu family after I recover from my injury. One day, when I can stand out, I will go home.
May I?"
Zhang Xiaoying sighed.
"That's your home. I won't interfere with the choice of the eldest son or the second son. But now I still can't let you stay in the Xu family, lest Wen Cong learn from his example. He is a very good scholar, do you understand?
?”
"I know."
Xu Yunfei is smart, but what he said tonight was true.
However, Zhang Xiaoying would not let him take these memories with him, lest he cause trouble for himself.
"Do you miss your own child?" After a while, Xu Yunfei asked again, "Where are you from?"
"I lost my husband when I was young, I lost my son when I was middle-aged, so what if I live a long life? Can they come back?" Zhang Xiaoying told lies seriously.
Xu Yunfei was speechless.
At the same time, he was hypnotized by Zhang Xiaoying without him knowing it.
